"To say in this day and age that LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender)rights should not be recognised is extremely regressive and extremely disappointing," Chidambaram told reporters.

I wonder what the BJP and conservative Hindu Nationalist Parties have to say

This is certainly a step in the wrong direction. While in classical India, homosexuality and other sexual deviance was seen as abnormal, homosexuals and other "queers" were still given a respectable place in society. Queers often had jobs as masseurs and hair-dressers. "Queer" sexuality was seen as a part of life, albeit one that deviated from social norms.

With the advent of Islam in India, and with the coming of stuffy British Victorian mores, homosexuality was criminalized and condemned.

Actually the Supreme Court upheld a ruling by the High Court. The matter has gone to the Parliament to decide. BJP is homo-phobiac. I think Congress will let this one pass...!

I'm pro-LGBT in general, but for an international alliance to try to coerce a nation to change their policies on things they have previously shared their stance on is ridiculous to me. This should not be allowed.
